The sum of two numbers is 10. twice the first number is 4 more than twice the second. what are the two numbers?

6 0

X+ y = 10
2x = 2y+4

2x/2 = 2/2y+4/2
x = y + 2

x+y = 10
y+2+y=10
2y + 2 = 10
2y +2-2 =10-2
2y = 8
2y/2 =8/2
y = 4

x + y =10
x + 4 =10
x +4-4 =10-4
x = 6

Check
2x = 2y +4
2(6) = 2(4) +4
12 = 8+4
12= 12

Answer:

y+3=2(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ . In order to write a linear equation using this form, the $y_1$ , $x_1$ and $m$ must be substituted by real numbers.

The $m$ represents the slope of the equation. We know that the answer has to be parallel to the line y=2x-1. y=2x-1 is already in slope-intercept form, or $y=mx+b$ , in which $m$ represents the slope. We can see that the $2$ is in place of that $m$ , therefore 2 is the slope of y=2x-1. Lines that are parallel have the same slope, so we know that the slope of the new equation must be 2 as well.

The $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point that the line passes through. We know that the new equation must pass through the point (1, -3), so we'll substitute 1 in place of the $x_1$ and -3 in place of the $y_1$ .

Substituting for those three values will give you an equation like this, therefore it is the answer:

$y-(-3)= 2(x-(1))$

$y+3= 2(x-1)$

A 6-sided die with sides numbered 1 through 6 is tossed. A penny is then tossed. If the penny comes up heads, the value of the d

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The probability that the outcome is less than 6 is 58.333%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a 6-sided die with sides numbered 1 through 6 is tossed, ya penny is then tossed, and if the penny comes up heads, the value of the die is multiplied by 2, but otherwise, the value of the die is left unchanged, to determine what is the probability that the outcome is less than 6 the following calculation must be performed:

(5/6 + 2/6) / 2 = X

(0.8333 + 0.0333) / 2 = X

1.1666666 / 2 = X

0.583333 = X

Therefore, the probability that the outcome is less than 6 is 58.333%.

kvv77 [185]

Well if packs and boxes cost the same then you can get either one 27 times: 27 * 10 = 270. Then you can get 6 singles to equal 276.
